Abstract

A mobile device includes a first nonconductive supporting element, a second nonconductive supporting element, and an antenna structure. The first nonconductive supporting element and the second nonconductive supporting element are adjacent to each other. The first nonconductive supporting element and the second nonconductive supporting element have different heights. The antenna structure is formed on the first nonconductive supporting element and the second nonconductive supporting element. The antenna element includes a feeding connection element, a first radiation element, and a second radiation element. The feeding connection element is coupled to a feeding point. The first radiation element and the second radiation element are coupled to the feeding connection element. The feeding connection element is disposed between the first radiation element and the second radiation element.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A mobile device, comprising:
 a first nonconductive supporting element; 
 a second nonconductive supporting element, wherein the first nonconductive supporting element and the second nonconductive supporting element are adjacent to each other and have different heights; and 
 an antenna structure, formed on the first nonconductive supporting element and the second nonconductive supporting element, wherein the antenna structure comprises:
 a feeding connection element, coupled to a feeding point; 
 a first radiation element, coupled to the feeding connection element; and 
 a second radiation element, coupled to the feeding connection element, wherein the feeding connection element is disposed between the first radiation element and the second radiation element. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first nonconductive supporting element is an appearance edge portion of the mobile device. 
     
     
       3. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the second nonconductive supporting element is an antenna placement platform or a display placement platform. 
     
     
       4. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the height of the first nonconductive supporting element is greater than the height of the second nonconductive supporting element. 
     
     
       5. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the antenna structure further comprises:
 a shorting element, wherein the second radiation element is coupled through the shorting element to the feeding connection element, such that a closed loop is formed by the feeding connection element, the second radiation element, and the shorting element. 
 
     
     
       6. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the feeding connection element, the second radiation element, and the shorting element are distributed over only the second nonconductive supporting element. 
     
     
       7. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the antenna structure covers a low-frequency band from 2400 MHz to 2500 MHz, a first high-frequency band from 5150 MHz to 5350 MHz, and a second high-frequency band from 5350 MHz to 5850 MHz. 
     
     
       8. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein a total length of the feeding connection element and the first radiation element is substantially equal to 0.25 wavelength of the low-frequency band. 
     
     
       9. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein a total length of the feeding connection element and the second radiation element is substantially equal to 0.25 wavelength of the second high-frequency band. 
     
     
       10. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein a total length of the feeding connection element, the second radiation element, and the shorting element is substantially equal to one wavelength of the second high-frequency band. 
     
     
       11. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first radiation element is distributed over the first nonconductive supporting element and the second nonconductive supporting element. 
     
     
       12. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a display device; and 
 a display frame, disposed adjacent to the display device, wherein the display frame extends into a height-difference notch defined by the first nonconductive supporting element and the second nonconductive supporting element. 
 
     
     
       13. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 12 , further comprising:
 a coaxial cable, disposed between the display device and the second nonconductive supporting element. 
 
     
     
       14. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the coaxial cable comprises a central conductive line and a conductive housing, and the central conductive line is coupled to the feeding point. 
     
     
       15. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 14 , further comprising:
 a metal back cover, disposed adjacent to the first nonconductive supporting element, the second nonconductive supporting element, the antenna structure, and the display device; and 
 a metal foil, wherein the conductive housing of the coaxial cable is coupled through the metal foil to the metal back cover. 
 
     
     
       16. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 15 , wherein a separable antenna element is formed by the first nonconductive supporting element, the second nonconductive supporting element, and the antenna structure. 
     
     
       17. The mobile device as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein a concave region is defined by the display device, the display frame, and the metal back cover, and wherein the separable antenna element is hidden in the concave region, or is extracted from the concave region.
